Editorial Reviews

Review

“Like the first Max story, the cartoon cover is irresistible and the comical illustrations spice up the clever story. As silly and funny as the Marx Brothers movie of the same title.” (Kirkus Reviews )

“Urbanovic creates a slapstick delight with her wildly expressive characters and expertly conveyed physical comedy. Like its best-selling predecessor, this is sure to be a read-aloud hit.” (ALA Booklist )

“Children will laugh out loud at the antics in this story.” (School Library Journal )

“Genuinely funny. Urbanovic’s vibrant watercolor and pencil illustrations are humorous and expressive. Adults looking for a readaloud choice that will really ‘quack up’ their audience will find this title just ducky.” (Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books )

5.0 out of 5 stars Great laugh out loud story!, July 3, 2008
By 
A. Pohren (IA United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Duck Soup (Hardcover)
There once was a duck named Max, an aspiring chef of soups. Previously, Max had made such culinary "concoctions" as Fish Soup with Curry and Pickled Lemon, Cracker Barrel Cheese and Marshmallow Soup, and Squash Gumbo.
One day, Max decided to make a masterpiece of soup, but discovers that he is missing an herb to bring his dish to perfection. While out in the garden, Max's friends come by. While they discover and empty kitchen, they find a pot bubbling away on the stove. What follows can only be described as a hilarious and fun treat. With bright eye-catching illustrations and gloriously fun text, Duck Soup is sure to be a hit with young and old alike!

3.0 out of 5 stars not as good as Duck and Cover, July 9, 2009
By 
A Zhu "Happy Feet" (Irvine, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Duck Soup (Hardcover)
It really depends on which book you read first, Duck and COver or Duck soup. I read Duck and Cover first. It is so good. Giving Duck and COver a high 5, I would the most give Duck Soup a low 3. The drawings are good and fun. And there are couple of laugh lines in there, like the hot chili soup, marshmallow soup, and the end of the book. However, compared to Duck and Cover's sense of humor, this is far from it. But if your reading order is the other way, you probably will like both of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars HILARIOUS & Fun to read, December 30, 2008
By 
Sophie's Mom (North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Duck Soup (Hardcover)
I was told about this book by a mom friend of mine and immediately checked it out of the library. My 3 year old LOVED IT!!! I loved it. We all loved it. Maxwell duck is a cook is making his best dish ever. He leaves to get an herb from the garden when his friends come in and once they look into the soup they think Max has fallen in so they proceed to pour the soup out trying to save Max. It's a really cute story. I can be very dramatic while reading it "OH NO MAX WE'LL SAVE YOU" etc. My daughter loves it when we read books like that. I absolutely recommend this book and may give it as a gift in a couple months. BUY IT.
